PROTEST FROM INDIANAPOLIS.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, April I5.-At 8
Eeeting of the Board of Trade to-day q
report was unanimously adopted to the
following IF ct: Your committee would
respectfully report that the business Of
the city OF Indianapolis, ard. especially
the manufacturing, wood making, grain.
milling, lumber, pork aud elevator in
terests, are at present paralyzed and will
be permanently crippled by lack
OF fair and legitimate cOmpeti-
ton among the railroads as
result Of the interpre tstions,pu. on the
various sections Of the Interstate COM
merCe SC by the railway companies, and
schedule of rates ther6UDOn adODted by
them, AID we recommend that the Board
Of Trade of Indianapolis petition the
Interstate commerce commission to i'm
medlate.y interpret for US the second, ,
third and fourth sections, and that pOr-
ton Of the tweuty-seCOnt section
which pe,tains to the issuance OF mile
age tickets. Your committee finds that
while said act prohibits pooling among
railroads, yet by the Interpretation put
upon the law by them the railroads Of the
country hGve now more cast-iron pool
than has existed before, actually creating
under the new law what it was intended
should be prohibited by it: and believing
that the CO ,ditIODs Of the fourth cause of
said act are most injurious
10 shippers and are made the basis
for establishing by the railroads
Il schedule of rates which is working the
greatest injury to the business o. the city,
we would further petition the commission
to suspend the operation of said clause
and gil other provisions Of said act which
may conflict with free competition among
trausp 0TtatiOn companies OF the country
until such time as Congress can meet and
provide permanent relief.
The committee further recommend that
a committee of three be appointed by
this Board Of Trade which. after securing
further facts and causes for complaints
shall be empowered 10 go al once before
the Interstate commission and place he
fore the commission IN the most forCibl5
mauner on behalf OF this city and state,
and the business interests OF the country
at large, these and oil other matters COZ
corning the operation of the law which
may be found detrimental 10 our inter
eStS.
Ii is probable thai ex-senator Harrison
viii be seleCsed as one of tn committee
suggested by the report.

PANHANDLE PLUNDEREns.
a Large Shortage Believed to Exist in the
Chicago AUDITORS Office.

"A Large Shortage believed to Exist in the
Chicago AUDITORS Office.
CHICAGO, ILL, April ia local paper
this morning says the excitement on the
Panhandle road over the charges of con-
spirsCy and theft among the employees has
pervaded the whole system, and t1e Of
ticials are bringing searching inquiry to
bear upon all who are i'll any way con-
neCted with the line. The Chicago termi-
nus has already passed through the ordeal
of an investigation. A little more than
three weeks ago Mr.. r. r. Morris, travel
ing auditor, was dispatched to Chicago,
and with the aid of an assistant from
Plttsburg began to check up the books of
s. j. DOggett, cashier at the general
freight office on North H8lstead street.
Auditor Morris came across many things
in the cashiers books that do not
seem easy Of explanation, and at first at
tributed the oddly IN bookkeeping to the
cashiers ecCentricities. For the last
three weeks work on the books has been
carried on night and day, and before final
conclusion was arrived st it looked as if
the books would not balance. The in
vestigatiOn will be finished to-day, when
Auditor Morris leaves for PttSburg with
q transcript OF the accounts current for
CO nparisOn with the COmpany's books at
the general off ;es. Mr.. Morris was seen
by reporter yesterday, and while he
would not positively say that anyone con-
nected with the Chicago freight Office was
guilty of wrong doing, he intimated that
there appeared to be & discrepancy in the
cash account of ar. Doggett of appar-
emily from $4,000 to $4,000 Ia ex-
planning the matter he said: 81 don't
want to accuse anyone falsely, and am
not going to do 1t. Mr.. Doggett asserts
that he has assets to his credit
in the way of vouchers which
he has paid, and when these have passed
through the assistant general managers
hands at Columbus another voucher will
be made out and passed to his credit,
which may balance the account. As these
vouchers amount to many thousands of
dollars, it is unfair to decide that there
is discrepancy before these accounts are
AL checked up at Pittsburg. The compa-
ny is safe as lar as pecuniary loss is con-
cerned, and no blame can attach to Mr..
(. Z. LOOMS, agent of the company here.
| will say that whatever the outcome is,
Mr.. Doggett must retire and his bonds
men must make good the discrepancy.
Mr.. Doggett was formally discharged
from the company's employ last night"

II TIE COMMONS.

IN THE COMMONS.
! LONDON, April Ij-Sir william Vernon
/ HarcouTt, resuming the debate on The
/ coercion bill in the House Of CJmmonr,
said the present alliance betEeen the
/ Liberals ana the Plrnelitcs is based on
/ the neutrality-suspicious. Il the fact taat tue
/ WiSest policy in Irish af.irs lay in the
acceptance, in SOM form, Of ga Irish
/ government which would tend to satisfy
the Irish people. lie admitted That Lord
/ Rudolph Churchill and Mr. Chamberlain
/ mad secretly consulted Mr.. PlrueiI, seek
/ ing TO making 8n alliance with him
fer their own purposes. referring to the
! conspiracy clause Of the proposed act,
! Sir William declared that il Slapped the
foundation OF all personal liberty aud
could even Geb2C Irishmen from forming
business combinations to defend their
existing rights. The spirit in which the
government would administer the c0er-
cion act, if i5 were passed, was
sufficiently shown in the appointment
of Colonel Kcna Harmon, parliamentary
under secretary Of Ireland. By this
appointment the government had de-
clared themselves 10 be partiSauS OF the
landlords and determined to administer
the bill IS agents of the land ovaers in
Ireland, thus becoming instruments to
stimulate the worst passions of the people
end their DitteTest religious prejudices.
The bill would f4il t. suppress
the Irish National League because
the people believed in the league
and trusted it. The effect of the bill
would be to make the government more
detested and the league more popular
than ever. As to the Tory and Liberal
Union tauDts about American gold foster
ing Irish discomfort, Sir William Vernon
HarCOuTt said: ''There are none who
have less reason to complain of Ameri-
eau gold than the Itish landlords, fCr
none get more of it than they get through
their poor tenants" The proposal
TO make the bill permanent, Sir William
characterized as Il breach Of the fUnda-
mental condition Of the union between
Ireland and Great Britain The govern
ment prOfessed to reverence this union,
but were doing their best to violate it.
II the government earnestly desires to
maintain peace, let it abandon policy Of
eXasperating the Irish and adopt q policy

Englishmen have welded Americans,
but they have not all borne titles,
and our fair, ambitious transatlan-
tic sisters should be warned that
coronets have not dropped very
plentifully as yet on their pretty
republican brows. Only very few
American girls have married peers,
sons of peers, or even baronCts. OF
the former there are only two, the
Marchioness of Anglesee, who was
a Miss King, of Georgia, became
Mrs. Wodehouse, and married her
present husband in 1880, and the
daughter of Col. Kirby, who mar
ried Baron Fairfax in 1857. His
father, who died before coming to
the title, had married Miss Show

brother, to whom he succeeded, a
Miss Benham, of Ohio. a son of
Lord Alfred Paget, of the Anglesea
family, has an American wife, Miss
Stevens Of New York, but she has

count Vaudeville, son and heir of
the Duke of Manchester, married
in 1876, Miss Yznaga, of Louisiana,

An Incident of the Siege at Vicksburg.

The strange chances that bring
men who have strongly influenced
each others lives, together, were
again exemplified one afternoon at
the Panorama of Vicksburg, now
on exhibition.
Captain l.. S. Hudson: who aided
in serving the Chicago Mercantile
Battery, whichis depicted in action
on the great canvas, and who now
in connection with Major Grail de-
livers descriptive lectures on the
platform of the Panorama, was re-
hearsing the incidents of the hard
fought day, when a gentleman
among the spectators stepped for
ward and said:
ado you remember whom your
battery engaged at the battle OF
Champion Hill?'
"Yes," replied Captain Hudson !;
"it was the First Mississippi Light
Artillery. / shall never forget 1t,
for with gunner Gilmore, under our
Captain Whites orders, sighted
